Evolve France: 8 Tips for Buying an Evolve Electric Skateboard

Considering an Evolve electric skateboard and wondering what criteria to consider to make the right choice? Discover our 8 essential tips for choosing the ideal Evolve skateboard that will match your needs and lifestyle.

Why Choose an Evolve Electric Skateboard?

Adopting alternative mobility with an Evolve electric skateboard allows you to reduce your expenses on gas and public transport.

By choosing this new mode of transportation, you reduce your carbon footprint because electric skateboards emit no pollutants.

Practical, lightweight, and easy to transport, models like the Stoke or Onirique are perfect for commuting.

Finally, it's an exciting hobby for all ages, ideal for exploring the city and meeting new people.

8 Factors to Consider When Buying an Evolve Skateboard

All-Terrain / Street Icon for Evolve Electric Skateboards

1. Types of Use

Urban use: Ideal for getting around the city – Lightweight and maneuverable boards perfect for cruising, going to a bar, restaurant, or work – Equipped with longboard-style wheels – Adapted for smooth surfaces. The main models in this category are the Stoke and the Onirique.

All-terrain use: Ideal for off-the-beaten-path adventures – 6.7 or 8-inch diameter wheels – Ride on trails, in forests, or on uneven surfaces. All-terrain models include the Diablo Carbon, Bamboo and Renegade, as well as the GTR2 Carbon and Bamboo. These skateboards can also be equipped with a street conversion kit to get the feel of a longboard, except for the Renegade Diablo, which is exclusively designed for committed all-terrain riding.

Knowing these distinctions will help you choose the Evolve electric skateboard that best suits your needs.

2. Range and Battery Life

The range of your Evolve skateboard depends on the wheel type, user weight, and riding style. Make sure the board you choose has enough range for your daily commutes. If your commutes are long, prioritize skateboards like the Diablo, GTR2, or Renegade. Conversely, if your daily commutes are rather short, opt for skateboards such as the Stoke or Onirique.

3. Ride Experience

A spec sheet can tell you the maximum speed, range, and weight of a board, but it doesn't tell you how maneuverable it is, how smooth the ride is, or how easy it is to control.

Wheels and trucks play a crucial role in overall ride performance. For example, the double kingpin trucks that Evolve uses on all their boards allow for smoother carving and sharper turns.

4. Board Weight

The board's weight is crucial depending on your needs. A lightweight board like the Stoke or Onirique is ideal if you're looking for a skateboard that's easy to carry, for example, to work. Conversely, a heavier board like the Diablo, Renegade, or GTR2 is better for intensive use or longer rides.

The ability to change wheels enhances the riding experience. For example, Evolve conversion kits allow you to switch from all-terrain wheels to street wheels in minutes, offering more flexibility.

Prices for Evolve skateboards vary. More expensive models generally offer better performance, like our electric Mountainboard, the Diablo Renegade, for all-terrain use, for example.

Investing in a high-quality model ensures durability and reliability.

When looking for an electric skateboard, it's important to consider factors such as the warranty (Evolve France offers a 2-year warranty on the skateboard and a 1-year warranty on the battery), the availability of spare parts, and the level of customer support provided.

Each Evolve electric skateboard undergoes a meticulous quality control process to ensure you receive a perfect, ready-to-ride board.
